Greek and Italian drama for stocks (Reuters)

NEW YORK (Reuters) ? Wall Street is stuck in a highly volatile range as investors hoping for a rally into the end of the year are browbeaten by Europe's unfolding crisis.

For months, investors have been enthusing about valuations, earnings and, more recently, signs of an improving economy. Those may be good reasons why stocks should rally, but even the most ardent are starting to sound a bit glum.

The political intrigue in southern Europe has flummoxed investors stateside. Papademos has replaced Papandreou.

Berlusconi is, well, gone -- leaving the presidential palace on Saturday secretly through a side door after his resignation as prime minister while crowds shouted "clown, clown" among other insults and threw coins at his limousine. When word of his departure spread, people danced in the streets and drank Champagne.

The headlines and the subsequent volatility seem relentless.

"It literally just changes consistently each and every night," said Jeremy Zirin, chief U.S. equity strategist at UBS Wealth Management in New York.

Early last week, "there were worries about a potential Italian default, and now we've seen government and regime change in two of the periphery nations."

'A BEAUTIFUL DAY'

Again, events in Europe over the weekend could end up shaping the start of the trading week in U.S. markets.

Italy's Senate approved a new budget law, clearing the way for approval of the package in the lower house on Saturday and the formation of an emergency government to replace that of Silvio Berlusconi. [ID:nL5E7MB10I]

On Sunday, Italy's President Giorgio Napolitano led a quick round of meetings with political party leaders at his hilltop palace to find a new prime minister and government. The talks are likely to wrap up at around noon (1700 GMT) when Napolitano is expected to ask Mario Monti, former European commissioner, to create a government made up mostly of technocrats in time for markets to start trading on Monday.

"See what a beautiful day it is?" Napolitano said to reporters, upon leaving his hotel to go to church and then his Senate office.

In Athens, former European Central Bank policy-maker Lucas Papademos was sworn in as Greek prime minister, replacing predecessor George Papandreou after days of political wrangling. He is tasked with meeting the terms of a bailout plan to avert bankruptcy.

The net result was that the S&P 500 ended last week with a gain of almost 1 percent after a drop of nearly 4 percent on Wednesday.

That midweek plunge came after Italy's bond yields blew out to over 7 percent, raising fears that the country, which is also the world's third-largest bond market, could go bankrupt.

But with worries that the crisis could spread to other countries, investors are looking for either the European Central Bank or EU governments to commit more capital in order to backstop sovereign bond markets.

"For the markets to continue to rally, we would need to see market confidence that Italian, Spanish and French bonds are money good," Zirin said. "There is likely to be more volatility around the sovereign debt crisis until we get more capital committed to the solution."

HEDGING THEIR BETS

Many investors picked up put options heading into the weekend to hedge against a potential downdraft in equities next week.

Options traders exchanged about 1.48 million contracts on the Financial Select Sector SPDR fund (XLF.P) -- 3.6 times the average daily volume -- as puts outpaced calls by a factor of more than 13-to-1, according to Trade Alert.

Technical factors are taking on greater significance as the S&P 500 hovers at the top end of its trading range and traders watch for a break either up or down. When that happens, it could be swift if recent volatility is anything to go by.

Ari Wald, a technical analyst at Brown Brothers Harriman in New York, said evidence is building for a move to the downside after the index failed for a second time since late October to push above its 200-day moving average at around 1,272.

"If we keep failing at this, it looks like it's confirming another lower high from the May peak," he said. "This still looks like a downtrend to me."

The 200-day moving average, a closely followed level, has emerged as a key battleground for investors this year, with successive tests to the downside over the summer eventually leading to a 13 percent cascade during five fraught trading days in August.

On the downside, Wald sees support at the 50-day moving average at around 1,200. A breach of that could take the index back to around 1,100 in early 2012, he said.

But market technicians also say positive seasonalities could be in stocks' favor.

'TIS THE SEASON

November marks the start of the "six best months of the year" when the Dow has booked an average gain of 7.5 percent since 1950, compared with just 0.4 percent in the other half of the year, according to the Stock Trader's Almanac.

One reason cited for that seasonal lift, at least during the last few months of the year, is holiday spending.

Investors will look for more improvement in retail sales when data for October is released on Tuesday, especially after the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan report on Friday showed consumer sentiment rose to a five-month high in November.

This week, which is the last major week of earnings season, some prominent retailers are set to report results and give an outlook through the end of the year. They include Wal-Mart Stores (WMT.N), often seen as a barometer of U.S. consumer spending, and youth-oriented retailer Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF.N).

"My guess is we are going to have a reasonably good consumer in the year-end," said Philip Dow, director of equity strategy at RBC Wealth Management in Minneapolis. "My target on the S&P is 1,380. I still think it could happen."

Iran: 15 killed in explosions at ammunition depot (AP)

TEHRAN, Iran ? At least 15 people have been killed and scores more injured in two massive explosions at a Revolutionary Guard ammunition depot west of the capital Tehran, state TV reported Saturday.

Ramazan Sharif, spokesman of the Revolutionary Guard, said on television that the explosions occurred at a military base outside Bidganeh village, 25 miles (40 kilometers) southwest of Tehran.

"Fifteen people were martyred and scores of others injured. Some of those injured are in critical condition," Sharif said.

The Revolutionary Guard is Iran's most powerful military force.

Sharif said experts were investigating the cause of the blast.

Iran says has detected Duqu computer virus

Iran said on Sunday it had detected the Duqu computer virus that experts say is based on Stuxnet, the so-called "cyber-weapon" discovered last year and believed to be aimed at sabotaging the Islamic Republic's nuclear sites.

The head of Iran's civil defense organization told the official IRNA news agency that computers at all main sites at risk were being checked and that Iran had developed software to combat the virus.

"We are in the initial phase of fighting the Duqu virus," Gholamreza Jalali, was quoted as saying. "The final report which says which organizations the virus has spread to and what its impacts are has not been completed yet.

"All the organizations and centers that could be susceptible to being contaminated are being controlled," he said.

News of Duqu surfaced in October when security software maker Symantec Corp said it had found a mysterious virus that contained code similar to Stuxnet.

While Stuxnet was aimed at crippling industrial control systems and may have destroyed some of the centrifuges Iran uses to enrich uranium, experts say Duqu appeared designed to gather data to make it easier to launch future cyber attacks.

Symantec said: "Duqu is essentially the precursor to a future Stuxnet-like attack." Instead of being designed to sabotage an industrial control system, the new virus is designed to gain remote access capabilities, it said in a report issued last month.

Iran said in April it had been targeted by a second computer virus which it identified as "Stars." It was not immediately clear if Stars and Duqu were related but Jalali described Duqu as the third virus to hit Iran.

Tehran said Stuxnet had not inflicted serious damage before it was detected and blamed the United States and Israel for the virus which appeared to be aimed at crippling the nuclear program they say is aimed at making atomic weapons, a charge Iran denies.

The International Atomic Energy Agency issued a report last week that contained what it called credible evidence pointing to military dimensions to Iran's atomic activities, fueling demands in Washington and Europe for further sanctions.

Iran dismissed the report as politicized and full of "lousy" and unreliable intelligence work. The speaker of Iran's parliament said on Sunday the assembly would "review" relations with the U.N. nuclear watchdog.

Experimental Drug Slims Obese Monkeys (HealthDay)

WEDNESDAY, Nov. 9 (HealthDay News) -- An experimental drug that targets and kills fat cells in the blood appears to help obese rhesus monkeys lose weight, a new study suggests.

In the future, this approach may help obese humans lose weight, according to the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center researchers.

"Targeting blood vessels of white fat tissue is a novel conceptual approach against obesity," said study author Dr. Wadih Arap, the Stringer Professor of Medicine and Experimental Diagnostic Imaging at M.D. Anderson. "Adipotide is a new drug candidate against obesity to be translated into potential clinical applications in humans."

The report was published in the Nov. 9 issue of Science Translational Medicine.

The usual way drugs work to counter obesity is either by suppressing appetite or by increasing metabolism to try to burn calories faster, the investigators noted.

However, this new drug works by attaching itself to fat cells in the blood vessels and triggering a synthetic protein that causes the cell to die. These cells are then reabsorbed and metabolized, the researchers explained.

When the drug was tried on monkeys that were naturally obese they lost about 11 percent of their body weight over a month, Arap's team found.

In addition, the treated monkeys also improved their insulin resistance, which is a marker for developing type 2 diabetes. After treatment, the monkeys used 50 percent less insulin, the researchers found.

"Moreover, the monkeys lost 27 percent of abdominal white fat after Adipotide treatment," Arap said.

When the drug was given to lean monkeys they did not lose weight, suggesting that the drug may just select obese animals.

The drug did not have any adverse side effects, the researchers said, adding that the monkeys were "bright and alert throughout, interacting with caretakers and demonstrating no signs of nausea or food avoidance."

Within a month after treatment was stopped the monkeys started to gain weight again, the study authors noted.

The researchers are planning to test the drug on prostate cancer patients. These patients are prone to weight gain during hormone therapy, which can lead to arthritis-causing inactivity and a host of other health problems.

In addition, fat cells produce growth hormones that help cancer cells thrive, the researchers explained.

In this study, patients would receive injections of adipotide for 28 days.

"There is an increasingly clear scientific and medical interplay among obesity, metabolic syndrome and several human cancers, such as prostate, breast, colon, ovarian, among others," Arap said.

"Basically, we are in a cancer center and our group in particular has long been interested in this matter as a potentially new therapeutic in prostate cancer patients," he said.

Obesity expert Dr. David L. Katz, director of the Prevention Research Center at Yale University School of Medicine, said that "for those hopeful that pharmacotherapy might ultimately help us overcome epidemic obesity, this study serves up a preliminary dose of encouraging news."

This good news comes in a precautionary package of prior experience, Katz noted. "A study of nine weeks in a small group of genetically select monkeys is a very far cry from evidence in people, in the real world, over a meaningful span of time," he said.

Even weight-loss drugs that appeared to perform well in people over time like rimonabant and sibutramine have all led to disappointment, either because of waning effectiveness or toxicity, Katz noted.

"Adipotide may prove an exception to this rule, but believing it now would be the triumph of hope over experience," Katz said.

"This should not distract us from how much good we could reliably get done right now if we focused on turning what we already know about the power of feet and forks into what we routinely do," he added.

Tina Sloan: How to Dupe a Grandmother: Dimples Help...

She is two-and-a-half years old and very, very pretty with huge, blue eyes, fabulous dimples and very blonde hair. Her name is Emily, and her mommy asked me and Chris, a dear friend of mine, to take care of her for the day. Chris arrived at 6:30 a.m. as Emily's mommy was taking Emily's daddy to have an operation. Chris looked exhausted when relief arrived in the form of me at 9 a.m., for she had been down on the ground woofing, playing the wind, the monster, the clouds, and the doctor.

We decide to take perfect Emily, who was in no way exhausted, to visit seven Labrador puppies who are five weeks old. Well, we forgot. You need to bring the portable potty, extra clothes, bottles, toys, car seat. It took us about twenty minutes to get underway. Of course, the need to go pee-pee occurs the minute we start off. We stop, grateful there are two of us to handle one tiny thirty-pound girl. Naturally, there's a change of mind and potty is put back in the car empty. We start off again.

Arriving at the puppies' house, we disembark. Emily's toy stuffed animals join us as we march into the house. The puppies adore Emily. She's their size. They bound all over her, licking, sniffing, nipping. Nipping does not go down well, so we traipse over to see the miniature horse, who is a great success. But Emily, who has been up since 6 a.m., realizes it is lunchtime. This entails putting everything back into the car and heading to her house.

I have polished my fingernails in different colors. The thumb is purple, forefinger blue, followed by yellow, pink ring finger and green pinky. This is to enchant Emily as I cut up her turkey, too small do I cut the pieces, but she graciously eats them anyway.

Now Chris and I know it's naptime, pray it's naptime, but first we need to get down and play mommy and daddy and baby puppies. We can hardly stand and when we totter up, Emily needs spotted dog, who's been left in the car. Out we go and now we can play car. This means pretending eighty-eight times we are going very fast to the grocery store. This means we jump up and down and jiggle. Somehow during this, Emily manages to put all the coins into the seat belt lock which means we spend a half an hour getting the coins out. Not all of them because somehow she puts part of the money back in.

How can she still be going? The dimples still dimpling, the eyes bluer than ever? "Emily -- nap time." Looks us straight in the eyes -- "My mommy doesn't like me to take naps." Absolutely perfect. I believe her even though her mommy had told me about her daily naps and stressed their importance. She is so enchanting that we naturally acknowledge her right to stay up. Her mother has entrusted her child to our care, two nearly seventy-year-old women, intelligent mothers ourselves, and we have been undone by two dimples.

Calle 13 cruises to major victory at Latin Grammys (Reuters)

LAS VEGAS (Reuters) ? Reggaeton duo Calle 13 cruised to a major victory at the Latin Grammys on Wednesday, scooping up a record nine awards despite limited radio play in some countries, including top honor album of the year for "Entren Los Que Quieran."

The Puerto Rican group came into the night with a leading 10 nominations for the awards that honor Latin music and started the show in Las Vegas with a fist-pumping rendition of "Latinoamerica," earning a standing ovation for the tune that celebrates their culture.

The tune later won both song of the year for songwriting and record of the year for the recording of the music.

In winning their Latin Grammys, the top honors in Latin music, singer Rene Perez spoke of Calle 13's independent spirit and rise to popularity despite little play on airwaves in many countries including the United States.

"To all of Latin America ... long live music," Perez said, before adding, "no to payola," the industry term for payments by promoters to radio stations to play music.

Perez dedicated one award "to those who don't sell out and make real music," and upon winning another said, "long live true music."

Along with album of the year, "Entren Los Que Quieran" ("Everybody Is Welcome") also was picked best urban album, and the group's "Baile de los Pobres" ("Dance of the Poor") claimed best urban song.

Before the show even began it was evident a major night was in store for Calle 13 as they swept up four other honors: best tropical song, alternative song, short-form music video and producer of the year.

So complete was Calle 13's domination -- more wins than any other artist in one Latin Grammy show -- that Venezuela's Franco de Vita, who won best male pop vocal album for "En Prima Fila," joked onstage, "lucky Calle 13 wasn't in this category."

Even Puerto Rican singer Sie7e, who was named best new artist, thanked Calle 13 for being an inspiration "to create with emotion."

But the night was not without other key winners. Superstar Shakira scooped up best female pop vocal album for her "Sale El Sol," and the Colombian singer was given a special award for person of the year. She also gave one of her signature hip-shaking performances, which earned her a huge ovation.

On winning her award, Shakira noted her parents in the audience, referenced the Bible and then said, "Without love, nothing is worth anything. Without love, I am nothing."

Other key winners were Franco de Vita for best male pop vocal album with "En Primera Fila," and the international trio Alex, Jorge and Lena won best album vocal pop duo or group for their self-titled CD "Alex, Jorge Y Lena."

The Mexican band Mana claimed a win for rock album with "Drama Y Luz," and Puerto Rico's Tito El Bambino won best contemporary tropical album for "Invencible."

(AP Photo/Gene Puskar, File)

(AP) ? After nearly a half-century on the job, Joe Paterno says he is still getting used to the idea of not being Penn State's football coach. So is the rest of the shaken campus, after one of the most tumultuous days in its history.

In less than 24 hours Wednesday, the winningest coach in major college football announced his retirement at the end of the season ? then was abruptly fired by the board of trustees.

Also ousted was Penn State President Graham Spanier ? one of the longest-serving college presidents in the nation ? as the university's board of trustees tried to limit the damage to the school's reputation from a child sex abuse scandal involving one of Paterno's former assistant coaches.

Paterno's firing sent angry students into the streets, where they shouted support for the 84-year-old coach and tipped over a news van.

In less than a week since former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky was charged with sexually assaulting eight boys over a 15-year period, the scandal has claimed Penn State's storied coach, its president, its athletic director and a vice president.

"Right now, I'm not the football coach. And I've got to get used to that. After 61 years, I've got to get used to it," Paterno said outside his house late Wednesday night. "Let me think it through."

Paterno had wanted to finish out his 46th season ? Saturday's game against Nebraska is the last at home ? but the board of trustees was clearly fed up with the scandal's fallout.

"In our view, we thought change now was necessary," board vice chairman John Surma said at a packed news conference where he announced the unanimous decision to oust Paterno and Spanier.

Defensive coordinator Tom Bradley will serve as interim coach, and the university scheduled a news conference with him for later Thursday. Provost Rodney Erickson will be the interim school president.

"I take this job with very mixed emotions due to the situation," Bradley said at a news conference Thursday morning. "I have been asked by the board of trustees to handle this. I told them I would do it last night. I will proceed in a matter that Penn State expects."

He also said: "I have no reservations about taking this job."

Bradley said he called Paterno after the firings last night but declined to divulge what was said.

"I think that's personal in nature," he said.

However, when asked, he was clear about his admiration of and devotion to the man he is replacing for the time being.

"Coach Paterno has meant more to me than anybody except my father. I don't want to get emotional talking about that," Bradley said. "Coach Paterno will go down in history as one of the greatest men, who maybe most of you know as a great football coach. I've had the privilege and the honor to work for him, spend time with him. He's had such dynamic impact on so many, so many, I'll say it again, so many people and players' lives."

He added: "It's with great respect that I speak of him and I'm proud to say that I worked for him."

As word of the firings spread, thousands of students flocked to the administration building, shouting, "We want Joe back!" and "One more game!" They then headed downtown to Beaver Avenue, where about 100 police wearing helmets and carrying pepper spray were on standby. Witnesses said some rocks and bottles were thrown, a lamppost was toppled and a news van was knocked over, its windows kicked out.

State College police said early Thursday they were still gathering information on any possible arrests.

Paterno had come under increasing criticism ? including from within the community known as Happy Valley ? for not doing more to stop the alleged abuse by Sandusky. Some of the assaults took place at the Penn State football complex, including a 2002 incident witnessed by then-graduate assistant and current assistant coach Mike McQueary.

McQueary went to Paterno and reported seeing Sandusky assaulting a young boy in the Penn State showers. Paterno notified the athletic director, Tim Curley, and a vice president, Gary Schultz, who in turn notified Spanier.

Curley and Schultz have been charged with failing to report the incident to authorities. Pennsylvania Attorney General Linda Kelly has not ruled out charges against Spanier.

Paterno is not a target of the criminal investigation, but the state police commissioner called his failure to contact police himself a lapse in "moral responsibility."

Paterno said in his statement earlier Wednesday that he was "absolutely devastated" by the abuse case.

"This is a tragedy," Paterno said. "It is one of the great sorrows of my life. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more."

The Penn State trustees had already said they would appoint a committee to investigate the "circumstances" that resulted in the indictment of Sandusky, and of Curley and Schultz. The committee will be appointed Friday at the board's regular meeting, which Gov. Tom Corbett said he plans to attend, and will examine "what failures occurred and who is responsible and what measures are necessary to ensure" similar mistakes aren't made in the future.

In Washington, the U.S. Department of Education said it has launched an investigation into whether Penn State failed to report incidents of sexual abuse on campus, as required by federal law.

Surma said it was "in the best interest of the university to have a change in leadership to deal with the difficult issues that we are facing."

"The past several days have been absolutely terrible for the entire Penn State community. But the outrage that we feel is nothing compared to the physical and psychological suffering that allegedly took place," he added.

Sandusky, who announced his retirement from Penn State in June 1999, maintained his innocence through his lawyer. Curley has taken a temporary leave and Schultz has decided to step down. They also say they are innocent.

Sandusky founded The Second Mile charity in 1977, working with at-risk youths. It now raises and spends several million dollars each year for its programs. Paterno is listed on The Second Mile's website as a member of its honorary board of directors, a group that includes business executives, golfing great Arnold Palmer and several NFL Hall of Famers and coaches, including retired Pittsburgh Steelers stars Jack Ham and Franco Harris.

The ouster of the man affectionately known as "JoePa" brings to an end one of the most storied coaching careers ? not just in college football but in all of sports. Paterno has 409 victories ? a record for major college football ? won two national titles and guided five teams to unbeaten, untied seasons. He reached 300 wins faster than any other coach.

Penn State is 8-1 this year, with its only loss to powerhouse Alabama. The Nittany Lions are No. 12 in The Associated Press poll.

After 19th-ranked Nebraska, Penn State plays at Ohio State and at No. 16 Wisconsin, both Big Ten rivals. It has a chance to play in the Big Ten championship game Dec. 3 in Indianapolis, with a Rose Bowl bid on the line.

Paterno has raised millions of dollars for Penn State in his career, and elevated the stature of what was once a sleepy land-grant school. Asked why he was fired over the phone, Surma said, "We were unable to find a way to do that in person without causing further distraction."

At Paterno's house, his wife, Sue, was teary-eyed as she blew kisses to the 100 or so students who gathered on the lawn in a show of support.

"You're all so sweet. And I guess we have to go beat Nebraska without being there," she said. "We love you all. Go Penn State."
